I Heart Graffiti (most of the time).

Some are done freehand and others are done with stencils (I tend to like those quite a bit) and that’s more or less everything I know when it comes to graffiti. As with everything else, there are graffiti “stars” out there, but the only one I know of is Miss Van over here, and I’ve just discovered her today. It’s been around since the stone age, it’ll be here for a long time to come. Sometimes it’s an eyesore, sometimes it’s welcome eye candy, and depending on my mood, I think graffiti either symbolizes man (or woman’s) inherent need to leave a mark, or it can be a constant visual reminder of how little respect some people have for property that is not their own. But mostly I’m just happy that kids can go to a hardware store and for a few bucks get their cans of paint and along with a little bit of wall space, express whatever they want. In some parts of the world, that could literally cost you an arm and a leg. Keep on tagging in the free world.
